DX-5130: How to ignore file extensions on sync?

[D41196829]

Hello everyone, im trying to make my file sync ignore some larger files like PDF and vídeos, with no success, i placed the following on my blt.yml:

sync:
  # Paths to exclude during file syncing operations.
  exclude-paths:
    - styles
    - css
    - js
    - pdf
    - mp4

But this isn't work, anyone know what can i do to achieve this? Thanks.

Try wildcards, e.g. '*.pdf'.

BLT just passes these options to the Drush rsync command, which in turn passes them to rsync:
